chairman, just one term, president obama has missed the budget deadline more than any other president. he's now missed it four out of five times. in the 90 years between 1923 and 2013, president obama is the only president to miss the deadline two years in a row. he's the only president who missed the deadline three out of four years in his first term and he holds the record for the longest delay, 98 days, maybe he's -- maybe that's the record, he's trying to beat. so i want to commend again my colleagues in the congressional black caucus for bringing forward a budget. i think it's extremely important that we have all sorts of different ideas out here on the floor to be able to debate and have people take a perspective on and have the opportunity to vote yay or nay on, i would respectfully suggest, however, that their budget move this is country in the wrong direction, not the right direction and we'll urge opposition to their budget proposalened i reserve the balance of our time. the chair: the gentleman reserves, the gentleman from virginia. mr. scott: i yield to a member of the bud

over the last four years under the leadership of president obama we have come a long way. almost six million private sector jobs added, but we still of course have a long way to go. let's just look at the landscape. corporate profits are way up. the stock market is way up. the productivity of the american worker is way up. yet, unemployment remains stubbornly high and consumer demand remains stagnant. that's why the democratic approach is to invest in our economy, invest in education, invest in job training, invest n transportation and infrastructure, invest in research and development, invest in technology and innovation, invest to take to make america a leader in the 21st century. if you invest in our economy, then you'll increase jobs for the american worker. if you increase the jobs available to the american worker, consumer demand will increase. if consumer demand increases, the economy will grow, and if the economy grows, the deficit will decline and so too will our debt as a percentage of g.d.p. this is decision time in america, and clearly the best decision that we

cicilline: more than months have passed since president obama was elected. rye now the republicans are offering a budget proposal that contains many of the same ideas voters rejected this fall. the republican budget would end the medicare guarantee as we know it and repeal the affordable care act. that's already providing benefits to so many families in my home state of rhode island and all across this country. rhode islanders do not want another republican budget proposal that jeopardizes our economic recovery, gives away billions of dollsars in tax subdies in big oil and tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. they want a budget that reflects our values as a nation, promises we made to our seniors, invests in rebuilding our national infrastructure, protects our investments in education, and reduces our deficit by making smart cuts in spending and reforming our tax code. the republican budget fails to meet any of these standards. and i hope my colleagues will join me in opposing it this week. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tem
